On February 12, 1825, in the alcove of a second-floor room in a grand, white, Federal-style stagecoach inn and tavern, Chief William McIntosh, the half-Scottish, half-Creek leader of the Lower Creek Indians, along with five fellow Lower Creek chiefs and federal representatives, signed the Treaty of Indian Springs. This monumental accord declared that 4,700,000 acres of Muscogee land in Georgia would be sold to the United States.

Women Journalists in Vietna..(Fal 23,Vol:68 Issue:7)
Through the years, American Heritage has published many stories of courage on the front lines of war. In this issue, we offer, for the first time, profiles of female journalists who covered combat during the Vietnam war. During that conflict, women were largely barred from witnessing action at the front, and often faced a real challenge just getting to Southeast Asia.
Catherine Leroy Parachutes into Danger
Editor’s Note: Elizabeth Becker is a respected war correspondent and award-winning author, having worked for The New York Times, National Public Radio and the Washington Post. Among her books is You Don't Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War, from which the following was adapted. When they gave the twenty-minute warning, Catherine Leroy was waiting in her assigned seat on the left side of the C-130 cargo plane, the air thick with the heat of Vietnam’s dry season.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” and a Hundr..(Fal 23,Vol:68 Issue:7)
Last spring, an email arrived with the power of a comet jolted from its ancient orbit. It bore a faded newspaper clipping from 1920s Tulsa — a half-page pictorial of a driveway murder scene of my father’s parents, noting the spot where he watched it as a teenager. Under the headline “felled by bullets,” I finally learned the facts of my grandparents’ murder. On my computer screen, the past unsealed itself — an era when whites, impelled by a culture of killing, slew Osage Indians with impunity.
Reopened Museum Honors Women's Fight fo..(Sep 23,Vol:68 Issue:6)
At the newly opened Kate Mullany House, a National Historic Site in Troy, New York, there is a display of the various flatirons that laundresses in the 19th century used in service to the city’s “collar and cuffs” industry. Among them is a coal-fired iron with a compartment for burning coals. As the coals cooled, they were inflamed with a bellows. What could go wrong? Made of solid iron and weighing up to 10 pounds, the irons are slightly sinister artifacts of “women’s work” as it once was.
Tallahassee author Susan Koehler charms with new middle-grade novel | Book Review
Ann Morrow Special to the Tallahassee Democrat In 2019, local author and educator Susan Koehler debuted her first middle-grade novel, "Dahlia in Bloom." The story was set in the Appalachians during the Great Depression and told through the voice of 8-year-old Dahlia Harrell, the youngest of four children. The family had to leave their “hand-me-down” mountain home and their beloved grandfather and settle in Lothian Mill to begin life as tenant farmers.
I once met Elizabeth David - Ann Morrow
Ann Morrow remembers an charming lunch with influential cook Elizabeth David – despite the ugly pudding Elizabeth David died 30 years ago, on 22nd May 1992, aged 78. An exceptionally private person, she became famous in 1960 with the publication of French Provincial Cooking, when she introduced whiffs of the Mediterranean to postwar British palates. I remember well her message in delicate handwriting, agreeing to lunch but at a place of her choosing.
Make your own bird saver to prevent birds from hitting window
During these challenging COVID-19 times, many of us are spending more time in our homes and yards. It is no wonder that interest in home-based activities such as bird watching and gardening has soared in the last six months. Even veteran birders and gardeners have honed their skills, expanded their species yard lists, and enjoyed new sights and sounds in backyard habitats.
Saving Frederic Church's Olana
The autocratic politician may have stage-managed his appearance for publicity, but the urgency was real: Olana’s trove of paintings by Church and other artists already had been removed to be readied for auction, and almost everything else of value cataloged and tagged for transport. With his 11th-hour intervention, Rockefeller, who had demolished 98 acres of old Albany to build a monolithic state-office complex, allied with the emerging cause of historic preservation.
Shaun King visits Siena College - The Alt
“I’m not here to inspire you,” says Shaun King, to a crowd of hundreds at Siena College on Monday. “I think you’re already inspired.” The crowd is overwhelmingly young — when King asks the folks in the audience to raise their hands who are over 25, only a smattering of hands go up. Most are Siena College students, as registration was mostly limited to those who attend the college. “My goal today is to leave you with a few new ways to see the world,” King says.

The group cheers and starts to march through the Concourse, loudly declaring that they want Raise the Age, and they want it now. The attendees of the Somos conference cheer as the protesters file past, brandishing their homemade signs.

Bee-pocalypse: Drastic declines in bee diversity threaten food supplies, locally and globally - The Alt
Honeybees are in crisis, a phenomenon that’s been in the news in recent years because of colony collapse disorder, a complex syndrome in which bees abandon their hives and fly off or mysteriously die en masse. The disorder has been decimating the commercial honeybee business for a decade. Honeybees are super-efficient pollinators and are crucial to farming, particularly for Big Ag (industrialized agriculture), with California’s almond crop being a dramatic example.
The rescue of Holy Innocents Church heralds the revitalization of a blighted part of Arbor Hill - The Alt
“There’s a lot of vines growing on the church,” says Patrick Chiou, the new owner of the former Holy Innocents Church in Arbor Hill. ‘A lot’ is an understatement: the English-style 1850 church is so enveloped by clinging vines that (except for freezing weather) it’s almost impossible to discern what the building looks like—or even if its adjacent chapel is still intact (it is). There’s also a 1880s parish house on the lot, hidden by decades of unchecked vegetative growth.
Casino foes are watching, carefully - The Alt
Rivers Casino and Resort opened to rapturous applause last week in Schenectady, with local and state luminaries in attendance. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, praised the new development, saying that the casino is “a vital economic asset for the Capital Region, generating new jobs and opportunity,” and called Rivers an essential part of Schenectady’s revitalization.

Kirsten Gillibrand for her work in getting women and young people involved in politics.
Lawton Denis is a rising star. He's 9. - The Alt

Artistic Identities
In The Lives of Hamilton Fish, a film by New York City artist and songwriter Rachel Mason, a politician named Hamilton Fish is linked by fate to a criminal also named Hamilton Fish. Mason, who composed and sings all the songs for film, describes it as an opera, a fantasy, and a meditation on identity. But wait, wasn’t there a real Hamilton Fish? Well, no: There were two real Hamilton Fishes.
South End Stories
Local documentary The Neighborhood that Disappeared looks back at a vanished piece of Albany history--while examining the ruthless political will that replaced it with the Empire State Plaza “All these little people, the farmers, the businessmen, they were completely obliterated.” That’s how one former resident of Albany’s South End remembers the devastation of the building of the Empire State Plaza, which bulldozed 98 acres in the heart of the city, razing more than a thousand buildings,...
